Week of 16 March

Good Evening,

Did you see the large snowflakes on Friday morning? Hopefully that is the last of the snow for this year....I know I had already put my sweaters away!

We have a busy few weeks coming up so below is the "long of the short" of what is going on....

• Grade 6 and Grade 7 students will be given course selection information on Thursday. Please sit with your and discuss with them their World Language options and their elective options.

• From our Arabic teachers...you will  be receiving information regarding the Arabic World Language Competition on 1 April @ 4:00. The format will be a bit different this year with our Arabic students going first and our French and Spanish students participating at a later date in June.

 A side note....I started to send this(see link below) to the students on Friday morning but then thought they would think it was too "sappy" and not read the article. But I still feel the need to tell somebody.....I have witnessed our students do similar things while at school. I think the students are still at an age where they do not realize the impact of their actions but.......we have good kids, not perfect kids (thank goodness) but they are good people and I want to thank you again for allowing us to be a part of their lives.

 

I have seen our students do similar things.....

Enjoy your evening.
